A real jewel
Everything we hoped for and more. Beautiful property on a quiet private lake. Cozy cabin, loved the boathouse and the cows. Close to shopping and only a short drive to many Florida attractions. Only wished that we could have stayed longer. Thanks Carina for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful Cabin!
We stayed for the entire month of February 2024. The cabin and lake were the perfect get-a-way from winter. We really enjoyed the property, especially the resident cows who greet you as you come and go and are happy to get a treat whenever you will provide one! Carina is a great host - I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a rural setting that is very close to all Florida has to offer.

Florida Ranch
Relaxing spacious cabin away from the crowds and a short drive to the beach and fun spots. Sit on the huge front porch and look at the trees, lake and wildlife (and a couple cows). Stores and golf nearby.

Canoe paddles
Upon arrival, first thing husband did was check out the lake. Rented this specifically so he could fish. The boat had no oars and were told use canoe paddles. No way can you maneuver a boat with canoe paddles! She then stated we could use the kayak however the seat in kayak was completely rotten out so couldn’t possibly use. Then I went inside to use restroom and the water from sink smelled awful. Asked husband to come inside thinking it was just me. He almost vomited from the smell. No way could we use water for drinking, doing dishes or bathing. Finally after contacting vrbo received a full refund, though at this time was very difficult to locate another rental for a months stay. Fortunately we we did locate another vrbo rental and could continue our additional month in Florida.
